Damian M.

AI Automation Engineer | CRM Integrations, n8n, Claude API & AI Apps

I build CRM integrations, automation and full-stack AI web apps for established businesses, then keep them running. One of them is an AI research platform law firms use daily across 190,000+ case documents. Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, $90K+ earned. Master's in Applied Data Science, 7 GIAC security certifications. Before this I built machine learning systems that detected cyberattacks on military networks, so everything I ship is secure by default: least-privilege access, audit logs, tested before handoff, monitored after. RECENT RESULTS - Law firms: the research platform above, with per-firm data isolation and OCR for scanned files. - SEO agency: content publishing and citation engine running on autopilot across their client websites. - Sports league: full web platform with CMS, Stripe payments and live streaming. - Solar installer: GoHighLevel CRM rebuilt through its API, 390 customer records backfilled, hourly data checks, live operations dashboard. - Consulting firm: AI content system that saves the CEO 20+ hours a week and lifted engagement 45%. - Sales team: intelligence dashboard I built and then maintained for 20 months. - Marketing team: trained to run their own n8n, Make and Vectorshift workflows, ongoing since early 2025. WHAT I BUILD AI-powered web apps and SaaS: full-stack apps with AI built in, from MVP to production. Next.js, React, Supabase, Postgres, auth, Stripe billing, multi-tenant accounts. Claude API and AI agents: agents that use your tools and data through MCP, with guardrails and cost tracking per run. n8n automation: production workflows with error handling, logging and alerts. 300+ deployed. CRM and GoHighLevel integrations: built through the developer API and n8n, not clicked together. Custom webhooks, data sync, reporting. AI voice agents: phone agents that answer, qualify callers and book jobs. RAG and document AI: search and answers over your own documents, with sources cited. HOW I WORK 1. Scoping audit first. I map the process and give you a ranked list of fixes with cost and payoff for each. 2. Fixed-price build in phases. Phase 1 ships a working core in weeks, later phases extend it. Every phase is checked against acceptance tests you sign off on. 3. Monthly support for clients who want the system maintained and extended. WHO DOES THE WORK I do. I scope, architect and build every system myself, so the person you talk to is the person writing the code. I will tell you when something does not need AI, or does not need me. WHAT CLIENTS SAY "In 10+ years of utilizing the Upwork platform, I can confidently say Damian is one of the top people I've ever worked with on the platform and outside of it as well." "Damian is a rare find on Upwork, an amazing solution-oriented systems thinker that really took the time to understand what we needed and built a tech solution for us without us needing to micromanage, over-explain, and babysit." "Saving me over 20 hours each week while increasing engagement by 45%." Dr. Terrell B., CEO GOOD FIT Businesses with a real process eating real hours, and founders who need an AI product built to production, ready for a phased build or ongoing monthly work. NOT A FIT Quick fixes under $500, GoHighLevel funnel or page building, or projects shopping for the lowest rate. Send me what the process looks like today and what you want it to do. I'll reply in writing with how I'd build it, what I'd need from you, and what the first week looks like.
